I've been using volumeicon for a long time, to enable the audio hotkeys on my laptop. But the problem is that if you plug in a USB or bluetooth headset, it doesn't automatically switch to it as the default. You'd have to kill the service and restart it.
So I wrote a script that can offer me all the same functionality, and just mapped my audio hotkeys in my WM.
Thought someone might find the source useful.

How about module-switch-on-connect?
The problem wasn't PulseAudio, it was
volumeicon. For instance, when I'd pair a bluetooth headset I would start getting audio through it, but my hotkeys would still be trying to adjust the previous sink. I'd have to kill and restartvolumeiconfor it to work again.I see. Thanks for the explanation. It seems a long standing issue: https://github.com/Maato/volumeicon/issues/49
I figured if I could eliminate the middle man in under 55 lines I may as well. I'll always jump at the opportunity to reduce my package reliance.
